I rebooted, and it stopped doing it. I went back into messages.0 , which was
the LARGE file, and found lots, and lots, and lots of these lines:

Looks like iptables logging IP packets to the loop interface on port
53543. Very weird.
I did a CTRL-ALT-F9 earlier that day, thinking I was switching to my OTHER
user logged in, and those lines were on the screen, instead of the gdm login
screen. Then did a CTRL-ALT-F7 to get back to where I was, and was back to my
logged in account. Looks like gdm didn't like me going to that screen without
starting a new login session through the menus?
